Feedback with songs & Smartboard

Smartboard:
Things you did well: All the children participated by pressing the Smartboard or singing along. It was good when you ask Bodhi & Max predictable questions about the colors of the shoe. I like that you added the sign for love. Next time, try to ask what the sign is before group because I couldn't think in the moment. It also looses some flow. I like that you gave all the children a warning that it's their last turn.

Things to try next time: Show the visual of playground & group. This makes the end clearer for the children. As group leader, think about where best to have the children and guide them to the seat. It was hard with Michael and Nicholas sitting together. Maybe having Bodhi sit next to Michael instead. That way I can still be in between Gavin & Michael. Maybe moving the computer cart a little more towards the door, so your chair won't be in front of the Smartboard. It made it hard for Max to see. I had to quickly move all the children down for him to be able to see better. I didn't think you reach your potential of your animation today. I think if you were more animated, you could have had the children's attention more. Recognizing sooner that it was okay for Joey to take his turn. When a child is calm for everyone turn, then they are probably ready for their turn. To help Nicholas and Max recognize you are asking a question, quickly state, "Max, I have a question..." I think Max was so concern for his turn, that he couldn't focus on your question. If you notice that children are consistently picking the same animal, you can take a turn to press a different animal to see if that sparks any of the children's interest.
Songs:
Things you did well: Great flow. Remain calm with our technology difficulities. It was good that you took initative to take over singing the ABC. You remember to collect the turtles. Overall, you had all the children's attention. I especially like the flow with little frog when you said, "again."
Things to try for next time: Try to check the props quickly as group leader. There should have been for verse for the Wheels on the Bus. Always use a shorter sentence when you are getting ready to call on the child. "Bodhi, it's your turn. You are sitting so nicely." instead of saying, "I'm looking for someone sitting nicely in their seat, Oh Bodhi you are." It takes too long for the child to recognize it's their turn when you use it in the middle of the sentence or at the end.
Hope this help. If you have any questions, please ask
